Office of Study Abroad and International Exchange

You can study all over the world

What is International Education?

The Office of Study Abroad and International Exchange prepares APSU students to be
knowledgeable about the world, experienced with intercultural communication and equipped
with an international skill set necessary to support our community needs in an increasingly
global society. The office also serves incoming international students and scholars.
The mission of the Office of Study Abroad and International Exchange is to support and engage all students with diverse global opportunities.

Study Abroad and Domestic Programming

Prepare early if you are interested in studying abroad. APSU offers both short-term
(1 to 6 weeks) and long-term (1 semester or academic year) study abroad programs.
General program advising sessions are offered all year; as well as program-specific
advising sessions prior to program application deadlines. Study Abroad 101 information
and Study Abroad Fair sessions are offered during fall and spring semesters.

If studying abroad is not an option, APSU students can still benefit from international
programs by participating in the Bridge Program. The Bridge Program is a peer-mentor
group which consists of both international and domestic students enrolled at APSU.
It is designed to help international students explore American culture and history
while teaching First Friends (domestic students) about culture and history of their
countries.
